Thought some folks may be interested in two lugers that have come together again. There are both first issue lugers that were sent to the 5th Royal Bavarian Infantry Regiment, Machine Gun Company as weapons # 27 and 28. Normally, weapons issued to the Bavarian forces would be preceded with a...

Every year about this time there are two events in Louisville at the Kentucky State Fair Grounds that may interest some folks here. Thursday thru Saturday, the Ohio Valley Military Society (OVMS) holds what is calls its Show of Shows (SOS). It consists of 2000 tables of military relics from...

Back in the late 1980s and '90s there were at least of couple of import companies that brought back a sizable number of M1917 Enfields. The condition ranged from pretty good to just awful, but there were quite a few marked with a red and white painted bands that supposedly indicated they had...

Would like your advice about a scammer operating on GB. Watched him for a long time. Finally bid on an item and won. The initial communication was ok, but abrupt, which I understand because this guy is really, really very busy. But then things got a little weird – he instructed me to send the...

This may not be the kind of research intended for this section, but I thought that some folks might find it interesting so here it is. Several years ago, I came across a luger that had been issued to thethe 1st Company of the 4th Hannoverian Infantry Regiment Nr. 164 before the Great War...

This probably belongs in another section, but thought that others might like to see it as it is about guns and is a little inspirational. The union worker that Quid Pro Joe tried to attack and intimidate the other day after being questioned about his previous statements about firearms and...

One-hundred-and-five years ago tonight, the guns were gradually growing quieter on the Western Front. Sometime late in the evening, troops began to sing Christmas carols. It wasn't much of a Christmas, but singing carols reminded them of home at the same time reminding them that they weren't...

Recently two people asked questions about 2 shotguns that I was hoping you folks could answer. First, a fellow explained that he has his father's J.C. Higgins Model 20 with a "power pac" choke. It is an old system and hasn't been made for decades, with good reason. When you screw the choke...

Every wonder why prices go up on firearms? Having worked in gun shops for a long time, I have a pretty good understanding of the manufacturers supply/distribution chain and how that all shapes prices with new firearms. But as a collector it has always amazed me to watch the prices on collector...

Thought there might be some interest in seeing another veteran of World War I … from the other side. In terms of computers, I admit that I'm an idiot and hope that the photos show up. The pictures are of a 1910 DWM P08 that went off to war in 1914 with the Kürassier-Regiment „Königin“...

It was only one very, very small act of "activism," but I got up and walked out of church, Presbyterian Church, today in the middle of the sermon. After retelling the story of Jesus healing a man born blind (John 9), the minister launched into a tirade about the evils of assault weapons and how...

Saw that L.L.Bean had "agreed" with what it called a "superfan" to stop selling guns. Now the only place that L.L. Bean sold guns was in the original store in Maine, but it built its name and success on selling clothing to hunters and outdoorsmen. I just finished boxing up all my L.L. Bean...
